Ingredients:
2 tablespoons olive oil

2 thick slices of day-old bread, crusts removed, broken into pieces
2 tomatoes, roughly chopped
1 litre (1¾ pints) vegetable stock

Method:
Heat the oil in a saucepan, add the onion, garlic and bread and cook over a medium heat, stirring frequently, for 3–4 minutes.
Stir in the tomatoes, stock, peas, pimentón and sherry and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat and cook over a medium heat, stirring occasionally, for 3–4 minutes.
Add the prawns and cook, stirring, for 5–7 minutes or until the prawns turn pink and are cooked through. Remove the pan from the heat and season to taste with salt and pepper.
Ladle into warmed shallow bowls, scatter over the egg and parsley and serve immediately.
For Indian chicken & chickpea soup, put 400 g (13 oz) can chopped tomatoes and 400 ml (14 fl oz) water in a saucepan, stir together and warm through over a gentle heat. Meanwhile, chop 4 cooked chicken breasts into chunky pieces, removing any skin, and shred 150 g (5 oz) Savoy cabbage.
Stir the chicken, cabbage, 2 teaspoons curry paste, a drained 400 g (13 oz) can chickpeas and 1 crumbled chicken or vegetable stock cube into the tomatoes. Stir well, cover and cook over a high heat for 6 minutes or until the soup is piping hot and the cabbage is just tender. Serve with warm garlic naan bread.
